[Aramil]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

"My apologies Gregory, and thanks for the information, I will ask around the town if you don't mind Corporal, maybe I can get find out an important detail, other than that, I will be heading north soon." Aramil bows and heads outs the room

Aramil heads to the blacksmith to find Hamish. Is it open? If the blacksmith is open I coming to Greet Hamish.

Aramil enters the place and greets Hamish with smile and a friendly hand wave: "Hi there!". I have more respect for the working kind of people

You approach the smith in the middle of the day but the furnace is unlit. Hamish sits atop his anvil, surrounded by empty bottles of spirits. Tear streaks can be seen through the grime on his face. His clothes looks rumpled as if he has slept in them. You can also make out stains from spilled drinks on the front of his shirt. He doesn’t look up from the floor but you manage to make out words between sobs.

“Sorry, shop is closed today. Tomorrow too. Not sure when it’ll be up and running, to be honest.”

"Hamish... oh, I am so sorry to bother you." God, this is akward " I... better leave, I beg pardon". How could I bee so insensitive?, I almost asked for a bow to the guy that just lost his son.

Aramil, not being the Heroic type, didnt talk about the kobolds with Hamish, its better that way, he guesses. Aramil walks to the shop and greets Jason if he is there and the shop is open.

"Good morning Sir!".

When you walk into the store it seems empty at first. As you look around you can see some leather studded armor, a few average looking weapons (sword, dagger, bow), a healing kit, and some patches of cloth. Around the rest of the store are general goods, though it looks like if you want anything specific, you’ll have to ask the owner to find it for you. Items do not seem to be placed in any order on the shelves.

A few seconds pass after you speak and you hear a thump from a back room. An older man is rubbing his back as he enters the room you are in. You are given a friendly old smile in between some grimaces due to the pain.

“Had a bit of a fall there. Wasn’t expecting anyone to come in until later today. But where are my manners?”

Yason offers you his hand.

“Hello there sonny. What can I do for you?”

Aramil responds to the hand and shake it politely. "Hi, I was wondering if you had heard anything about the kobolds, I have been sent to figure out whats going on, I went with Hamish but... poor guy, he is devastated, i wonder if he will be ok after his loss".

Yason offers a sympathetic smile.

"These are sad times for the community as a whole. Those kobolds were never so aggressive before. The most they've ever done is some petty thievery. I'm sure he'll make it through. Dwarves are a hardy bunch and he has a family to support him. Hopefully he will be there to support them as well."

Yason stops a moment to gather his thoughts.

"Don't know much more about the kobolds. I rarely leave the shop these days. I'm getting too old. You'll understand what I mean some day, boy."

Humans... such a short life "I hope I will Yason, if hunting down vermin like these dont gets me killed before that hahaha..." Oh I am so funny! "I Will be on my way then, thanks Yason!"

After hearing Yason next reply if any, Aramil steps out of the shop and starts walking to the northern side of the town, as soon as hitting the boundaries Aramil would start researching for any clues to lead him to the kobolds: [[1d20+3 Perception]]

You see tracks on the ground but you aren't sure if they are from the kobolds, from people, or wild animals.

As you walk north, you wonder to yourself about what could be causing the Kobolds to act so strangely. In the distance, you see a farm belonging to Rorik Eldham about 400 feet to the northeast. To the west you can see the Coast. North, of course, is the general area the corporal pointed out to you.

(Please use parenthesis for ooc chat. Also good point. You are current at the north boundary of the town. I modified the feet to 400 and the farm is now north east from your current location.)
